I wont rattle on - but having stayed here before I, like some others, was dismayed at the fact that the Table d'hote in the Olea restaurant has been scrapped and replaced by a buffet which frankly, does not come up to scratch. Other outlets also have seen a drop in standard. Im now even more concerned to hear from... more

I find it hard to believe that its only the 6th best hotel in Elounda considering what else we saw when there! It was a great hotel, with fantastic views, multiple restaurants (Italian and Asian were our favorites). If your going to splurge, go ffor the private pool as the pool and beach is down below the road and requires... more

Just returned from 11 night stay 12-23 June. Hired car, pre-booked with Economy Cars from airport . Easy journey and hotel easy to find (less than an hour from the Airport). Arrived very late evening and because we were half board a cold supper was thoughtfully left in our room. It was beautifully presented and included cold plates of cheese... more

I visited the Blue Palace Hotel in early May with my husband and 1 year old son and had a lovely time. I had booked the hotel on a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. We booked a superior bungalow (as a package with Sovereign) - I think this is the most basic room time but it was... more

When i first saw the blue Palace on their website i thought it looked magical, dream like, the perfect retreat. My partner and I were due to go to Mexico, but due to the swine flu breakout we decided to change destinations and go to Crete, and the Blue Palace it was. We decided to go with an Island Suite,... more

Overall feeling-we liked the Blue Palace. Rooms very good. Nice light pastel colours, clean, nicely furnished, and a view to die for. Mountains left and right, and a full on... more

1.The location is fantastic, on a gorgeous bay in eastern Crete. Come here if you want to get away from the world. But there is plenty of things to near by. Elounda is the closest town and it's very pretty, great for a walk about with plenty of local life in the streets, good restaurants like the Ferryman (more elegant)... more

My wife and I have just got back from a week at the Blue Palace Resort & Spa on the island of Crete. Our week long stay was a mixed affair of highs and lows. Firstly the positives. The hotel itself is stylish and set in a beautiful bay overlooking Spinalonga island, the former Greek leper colony. Set into the... more

My husband and I stayed at Blue Palace in May 2006. It was the last stop on our 2-week long honeymoon in the Greek isles, and it was the perfect way to end our honeymoon. After visiting few other islands for sightseeing and partying, we were exhausted and ready to just relax. We found Blue Palace to be absolutely beautiful,... more
